I got engaged in December and my goal was to get the site and photographer booked ASAP, and I’m taking my time with everything else. Got the site and just recently got the photographer. Next on the list is the dress, which I won’t get to until June. I probably won’t do anything else until the end of this summer.

I want to nail down all of the things that will be major expenses before the summer. I don’t know why, but I feel like a lot of people get engaged over the summer, or take the summer to plan a wedding for the following summer. I am really focused on getting the best bang for my buck with vendors, and figure that a cheap but fab professional will be booked quickly. So: venue, photographer, caterer, videographer, and band will (hopefully) be booked before July.

I have a lot done just need money..lol i guess i could take a break but this board is so addicting. I am all excited that next weekend we are going camping for 3 days so i wont be able to do anything but try to relax(yay for no computer). Today hits our 1 yr count down. Make me a little nervous and excited at the sametime. I see a lot of july 2010 weddings lined up! Zoekat your getting married on my sons birthday YAY. Good Luck planning girls

I’m staring at a huge grid printed in a tiny font on the desk in front of me. I’m hoping to have it all done before 8am on my wedding day. My list has a lot of setting-up items though so in all seriousness I want to have my major items done two weeks before so I can tackle any last minute issues the week before and can coordinate the set up on Friday when the tent arrives.

SO far I’ve booked a venue, sent tendrils out to interview caterers and made appointments with a photographer….made plans for quotes from a custom invitation designer….and i think my bf ordered my engagement ring.
